After
several days of reading on how to fill a listbox with linq i am completely lost
on what I have to do to make this work. I know I have to have a viewmodel or
something like that but since i cannot reference 2 models in the same view I
don t know what to do.

this is the
model i have

public class ABC

{

public int a {
get; set; }

public int b {
get; set; }

public int c {
get; set; }

public string d {
get; set; }

public string Type
{ get; set; }

public int ID {
get; set; }

public class ABCDBContext : DbContext

{

public
DbSet<ABC> ABCs { get; set; }

}

}

public class ABCModel

{

public string
type{ set; get; }

public
List<ABC> ABCs { set; get; }

}

The controller i know i am missing a lot of things but I don´t
know how to fill the list with that linq query nor how to call this controller
from the view without using beginform (I will have more than 1 listbox in this
form )

public ActionResult GetStuff()

{

var Types =
from m in db.ABCs

select m.Type.Distinct();

return
View(Types);

}

{

var Types =

select m.Type.Distinct();

return
View(Types);

}

And then on my view i am required to have @model IEnumerable
so i can show on that page everything that the table abc has.

So, can I create a viewModel that fills the lsitbox (I will
need to fill at least 6 with the parameters that abc has so the user can search
for abcs with those values, but i suppose that if i can understand how to do 1
i can do it for 6) with what I want and that allows me to show the entries that
abc has?

and this is the view ( i know a lot of things are wrong with
it but its just to give an example)

@using (Html.BeginForm("getSelectedValues",
"ABC", FormMethod.Get))

{

Type:@Html.DropDownList()

a:@Html.DropDownList()

b:@Html.DropDownList()

//and so on

<input
type="submit" value="Filter" />

}

Pardon for my ignorance for
any aspect i missed but i am new to asp net mvc 5, also if anyone could just
guide me or send me a guide on what I have to do i would greatly appreciate it.

What I would recommend is you create a ViewModel named
MYPAGENAMEViewModel.cs, then in that ViewModel you have all the 'model' / data
that you need for the view.cshtml file.... i.e. something like the following:
